“Somehow, please forgive their impoliteness, Sirius-sama! If you say you still angry, I will give my life instead.” (Valio)
Though he said he would give up his life, I wonder why he did it in order to protect them, but as I understood his intention, I spoke with a voice that can be heard by them. Let’s go along with his farce.
I instructed the disciples to stand by and pointed my hands at Valio while sticking the chest out proudly.
“Hou, you don’t mind dying for them, is that right?” (Sirius)
“I don’t have much time left, but it is my desire if it is helpful for the future of Dorianus household. Therefore, please have compassion and forgive them.” (Valio)
“…That’s fine. I will forgive them because of your loyalty.” (Sirius)
“I will appreciate your kindness.” (Valio)
This person is considerably sly. From the father and son’s point of view, they would think that Valio is a loyal subject who offers his life to become their shield. Far from just earning big trust from them, he gave them a huge ‘loan’. He murmured about getting the ownership of this mansion after this racket got settled.
Valio bowed again and thanked me when he saw the scene where the father and son were glad while hugging each other, knowing that they were forgiven.
“Thank you very much for going along with my farce.” (Valio)
“It seems things will settle down.” (Sirius)
“Yes, I think they understand it enough, but I will warn them if they don’t want to let this go. Well, it is impossible because they have no authority, money or strength to hurt you.” (Valio)
“Haha, that’s for certain.” (Sirius)

I heard this story later that Valio seemed to know Erina-kaasan when mothers were in the Bardomyl’s main residence.
However, since Erina-kaasan hated the Dorianus household, those two seemed to have not gotten in touch with each other, but they developed mysterious bond since they recognized each other’s abilities as an attendant.
And the reason he chose to spend the rest of his life in this mansion was also because that place was the place where Erina-kaasan’s gone through hardship and it seemed that he thought of maintaining it as long as his life continues.
It looks like I can trust him since he earnestly talked about it, so I told him about Erina-kaasan’s grave in the mountain. He promised to go there regularly and clean the place up. I’m totally saved with this, but I properly told him that it’s unreasonable for me to force him to do it.
Though it was trivial garbage cleaning, the family trouble ended with this.
